It’s nice to know that your watch has been the gold standard for excellence for over 100 years. It’s even nicer, when it’s made of solid 18K gold.

Fortis timepieces have always been as good as gold in the eyes of watch aficionados. Now the brand that continues to set the gold standard for technical excellence is being produced in solid gold. For the first time ever, four of the most innovative and exciting new Fortis collections are being produced in 18K rose-gold editions.

Anyone who has admired the superb craftsmanship and technical excellence of Fortis can now wear a beautifully crafted, solid gold 19Fortis, Orchestra, Tycoon, or Hedonist timepiece.

Each of these exclusive gentlemen’s timepieces is part of the newly introduced Fortis Terrestis Collection, which celebrates the iconic Fortis designs of the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. By combining classic styling with state-of-the-art technology, the Terrestis Collection celebrates a unique 100-year heritage, while maintaining the Fortis tradition of craftsmanship and innovation.

These classically elegant men’s timepieces never go out of style and will be proudly passed down from one generation to the next. It is only fitting that they are now available in 18K solid gold.

The understated elegance of the 40 mm 19Fortis is accentuated by the newly available 18K rose-gold case. This sophisticated three-hand configuration is perfect for black tie, white, tie, or no tie occasions. With classic baton style hands, raised Roman numbers, and an intricate textured pleated dial, this dress timepiece is the perfect companion for any important occasion.

With its art-deco inspired droplet style lugs and classic free running small seconds display, the aptly named Orchestra is a symphony of sophisticated elements. The small seconds display, featuring an engraved pattern of concentric circles, has been recessed in a gently domed dial, adding a multi-layered look to the inspired design. With a single understated Arabic number at twelve o’clock, and three raised bar indices at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, this debonair watch was destined to be encased in 18K solid gold.

The solid gold 41 mm Tycoon combines state-of-the-art technology with a reverence for early Fortis innovations. This superb gentlemen’s timepiece is available in chronograph and three hand configurations that make a bold statement on the wrist of any modern day tycoon. With its historically correct domed sapphire crystal, raised dot indices, and feuille style hands, this watch imparts a confident air of success to any man’s wrist.

If you are fond of vintage styling, but prefer today’s larger sizes, the classically inspired Hedonist is the watch for you. With its slim bezel and beautifully minimal dial, this 40 mm men’s timepiece shares a respect for the past, while remaining true to today’s latest fashion trends. Featuring a minimal anthracite or silver-opaline dial adorned with crisp Arabic numbers alternating with raised dot indices, this opulent 18K gold timepiece evokes the minimal elegance of the Bauhaus era.

Fortis fans already know that their favorite timepieces set the gold standard for fine craftsmanship and technical excellence. Now, they have a unique opportunity to put a 19Fortis, Orchestras, Tycoon, or Hedonist that has been masterfully crafted in 18K solid rose gold on their wrist.
